Guide: Matching Your CITI Account to Your °ÄÃÅÓéÀÖ³¡ SSO Account

The °ÄÃÅÓéÀÖ³¡ requires all individuals to complete mandatory training who are investigators conducting research using recombinant or synthetic DNA/RNA and other biohazardous agents. These training modules must be completed before IBC approval will be issued for a new project or before new personnel are added to a protocol.

Through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program (www.citiprogram.org), training modules are available for °ÄÃÅÓéÀÖ³¡ faculty, staff and students who are investigators or key personnel working with recombinant or synthetic DNA/RNA and other biohazardous agents. For assistance with registering and completing CITI training, review the IBC CITI Training Guide.

°ÄÃÅÓéÀÖ³¡ recognizes valid CITI training for four (4) years from the completion date.
